ASA FRANKLIN TARR, OF ROCKPORT, MASSACHUSETTS.

WASH-BOILER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 405,056, dated June 11,1889.

Serial No. 288,316. No model.)

To all whmn it may concern:

Be it known that I, ASA FRANKLIN TARR, of Rockport, in the county ofEssex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and ImprovedWash-Boiler, of which the following is a full, clear, and eXactdescription.

This invention relates to an attachment for wash-boilers, the object ofthe invention being to provide for the proper stowage of the boilercoverand for the stowage of the wash-stick; and to these ends the inventionconsists in providing the inner face of the cover-flange with hooks, theshanks of which extend upward through the top of the cover, to be therebent over to form stops which act as supports for the wash-stick, whileto the boiler-body there is connected at strip formed with loops adaptedto receive the hooks of the cover, all as will be hereinafter more fullydescribed, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar figures of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a washboiler, representing the same asit appears when provided with my attachment. Fig. 2 is a perspectiveview of the under side of the cover, the view, however, being on areduced scale; and Fig. 3 is a side view of the boiler, the cover beingrepresented as it appears when hung upon the body of the boiler.

In applying my invention I take an ordinary wash-boiler body, such asthat shown at 10, and to one side thereof I secure a strip 11, which isformed with loops 12, the strip being riveted, soldered, or otherwiseattached to the outer face of the boiler-body. To the cover of theboiler I secure two strips 15;said strips being applied to the innerface of the cover-flange, and their ends being bent over to form-hooks2, the strips being so placed that the hooks 2 maybe brought intoengagement with the loops 12. The strips 15 are continued up through thetop of the cover 11, and are there bent over to form knobs or stops16,'wl1ich serve as supports for the clothes-stick 20 at times when thecover is in its normal position on the boiler.

WVhen it is desired to place clothes within the boiler, to removeclothes therefrom, or to stir clothes that have been placed therein, thecover 11 is necessarily removed, and if some convenient place is notprovided is liable to cause great lIICOIlVQIllGIlOQ to the operator,subjecting her to vexatious delays; but by means of my attachment Iprovide for the suspension of the cover at the side of the boiler, asshown in Fig. 3, the hooks 2 at this time being brought into engagementwith the loops 12.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1. The combinatiomwith a boiler-bodyprovided withloops, of a cover provided with hooks adapted to engage the said loops,subtantially as described.

2. The combinatiomwith aboiler-bodyprovided with loops, of a coverprovided with hooks adapted to engage said loops, the hooks beingconnected to the inside of the coverflange and extending through the'top of the cover, substantially as described.

3. A boiler-cover having suspension-hooks secured to its inner side andprojecting at their outer ends through the cover and forming stopprojections 16, substantially as set forth. ASA FRANKLIN TARR.
